Vic & Marcus dive into the latest economic and business news, starting with the ADP jobs report showing the smallest job gains since July. They analyze the impact of tariffs on U.S. markets, discuss the drop in credit scores among student loan borrowers, and examine a $100 billion investment in U.S. chip manufacturing. The conversation shifts to healthcare with funding updates in pediatric care, ophthalmology, and chronic pain treatment, followed by insights on the growing AI cloud market. They also discuss RFK Jr.'s policy changes on vaccine committees, Blue Cross Blue Shield’s antitrust lawsuit, and opioid settlements for hospitals. The episode rounds out with a deep dive into AI’s rapid expansion in healthcare, humanoid robots performing household tasks, AI-generated human-like voices, and major policy changes impacting SNAP benefits.
